Field Station: Dinosaurs -- Fun Outdoor Family Experience

You can now have a real-life "Jurassic Park" science adventure in New Jersey, without any of the danger experienced in the movies. Field Station: Dinosaurs is a fun and educational outdoor attraction featuring more than 30 life-sized, realistic dinosaurs (including the 90-foot-long Argentinosaurus). Set against the natural backdrop of the New Jersey Meadowlands at the base of a 150-million-year-old rock formation, the Field Station's a great nature escape that's only nine minutes from the concrete jungle of New York City. Besides all the dinosaurs, there's a cool 3D movie and entertaining live shows to enjoy, plus plenty of games and activities. You'll meet an amazingly lifelike 15-foot T-Rex puppet, learn about the lives of the dinosaurs in the far-off past, as well as the story of their extinction, the link between dinosaurs and birds and how the dinosaurs connect to our world today in this exciting escape to the prehistoric past.

Plenty of parking not expensive. Lots of trails with hills to walk thru. There is a movie that is interesting to see. Everything is motion sensor. Fun for kids and adults educational. Food expensive weekday not to crowded.

Make sure to have a big stroller as there is not a real pavement. Have sandwiches. Local eateries are overprised and limited. Overall, my Family had fun. There were elements of workshops for younger kids.

My kids were so excited to see the large dinosaurs moving their heads and growling at them, they even pretended to be taming them by holding sticks in the air. The lego station was very cute, the fossil station was lacking, but the show I think it...continued
